Air Fried Peanut Butter Chicken
Ingredients
Ingredients for 4 servings
- 1 ½ lb lean chicken thighs (or chicken breasts)
- Marinade
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 4 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons low sodium tamari, soy or liquid aminos
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons ginger powder
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar, coconut sugar or honey
- 1 teaspoon white pepper or red chili flakes (OPTIONAL)
- 1 – 2 tablespoons of water for consistency
- Pinch of sea salt & fresh cracked pepper
Steps
Step 1
Pat chicken dry with paper towels and trim any large visible pieces of fat.
To a bowl, mix together the ingredients for the marinade – it should be kinda like paste but still easy to spread on chicken. Use a few tablespoons of water to adjust consistency as needed.

Step 2
Add the chicken and rub the marinade all over it. Cover and marinate for 20 minutes, or place in the fridge to marinate for 1 to 2 hours.
Step 3
Place the chicken in the air fryer basket (or on a baking tray lined with parchment if using the oven) and air-fry for 20 – 22 minutes, turning or flipping the chicken halfway.\

Enjoy!
